Here is my opinion about that: basically, it's a good idea :) but...

But, here at pilot, we handle a huge amount of issues, and changing 20
issues  the same  day is  not something  uncommon for  us;  using your
proposed template for us will very quickly generate huuuuge pages.

I have two ideas to make it more tunned to our use:

- change the way issued are displayed, so they fill only one line

- add  a user-configurable  filter (on  status  at least,  but a  more
  flexible like the  one of ListIssues would be  even better) of which
  issues are displayed on home page.

Of course, we  could make all that configurable  to adapt to different
users ;)
